Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 4-azaindole (1.20 g, 10.2 mmol), copper(I) iodide (290 mg, 1.53 mmol), 8-hydroxyquinoline (221 mg, 1.53 mmol) and potassium carbonate (1.55 g, 11.2 mmol) in DMSO (24 ml) was added iodobenzene (1.25 ml, 11.2 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at 130° C. for 3 h. The mixture was then cooled to room temperature and a solution of ammonium hydroxide (10% in water) and EA were added. The organic layer was separated, washed twice with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. Column chromatography on silica gel (EA/HEP) gave 560 mg of the title compound.
